It was the middle of the night.
Tap… tap…
The faint sound of footsteps woke Adrian instantly.
😴
He sat up on the sofa and looked toward the source of the noise.
The refrigerator door was open.
Lit by the light inside stood a tall, slender figure.
A gauzy silk nightgown clung to her body, barely hiding the simple underwear beneath.
“…Hmm?”
Shizuka Marikawa slowly turned around, her sleepy eyes only half open.
That simple movement nearly made everything she was carrying burst free.
From the front, her fair skin and stunning figure were on full display.
“Oh? You’re awake?”
She rubbed her drowsy eyes.
“…”
Adrian didn’t even know what to say.
Did he really have to wake up to something this stimulating?
He swallowed hard, discreetly pressing the blanket over the bulge in his lap before asking, “What are you doing up in the middle of the night?”
Shizuka tilted her head, placing a finger against her lips.
“What am I doing?”
“…”
Seriously?
She got out of bed and forgot why?
Could she possibly be any more airheaded?
“Oh!”
It suddenly came back to her.
“I wanted some water.”
She took a glass from the refrigerator and drank.
As she tilted the glass back, droplets of water escaped the corner of her lips, trickling down her neck…
…and continuing even farther.
After finishing, she set the glass down, closed the refrigerator door, and sleepily mumbled,
“Good night, Mr. Adrian.”
Then she wandered back to her room.
“…”
Adrian couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry.
He adjusted the blanket again.
“What the hell…”
Lying back down, he quietly chanted to himself,
“Form is emptiness. Emptiness is form…”
Little by little, the image faded from his mind.
Eventually, he fell asleep again.
…
When he opened his eyes once more…
It was morning.
Adrian got up from the sofa.
At the same time, Exusiai’s bedroom door opened.
“Morning, Adrian!”
She greeted him with her usual energetic smile.
Then another door opened.
“Good morning, everyone.”
Out walked…
A still half-asleep Shizuka Marikawa, wearing the exact same nearly transparent nightgown.
Round two.
Fortunately, Saya Takagi immediately yanked her back inside.
The door slammed shut.
A furious shout came from behind it.
“What are you doing?! We haven’t even gotten dressed yet!”
“…”
Adrian blinked innocently at Exusiai.
“If I said I didn’t see anything, would you believe me?”
Exusiai burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! A beautiful girl’s morning fan service? You’ve got some serious luck, Adrian!”
“Quit teasing me.”
He shot her a glare.
One after another, the others came out.
Shizuka seemed completely unaware of either her midnight adventure or what had just happened.
Adrian wisely chose not to bring it up.
“Let’s stop wasting time. We should get moving.”
As for breakfast…
They grabbed some bread.
They could eat in the car.
…
The next three days passed almost entirely in battles against the zombies.
💥
Rei Miyamoto and the other two joined the fighting as well.
They wanted more experience so they could face the undead without panicking.
Throughout those days, Adrian, Exusiai, and Saeko Busujima occasionally stepped in to protect them.
The three girls were deeply grateful.
More importantly…
With Adrian around, surviving had become unbelievably easy.
Little did they know, Adrian simply wanted to kill as many zombies as possible.
The more he killed, the more likely the system was to reward him.
That thought alone kept him overflowing with motivation.
During those days, they also witnessed just how terrifying his abilities really were.
⚡️
A casual kick could reshape the earth.
He could command the wind and soar through the sky at will.
Teleportation.
Lightning.
One unbelievable power after another left them awestruck.
Combined with his easygoing personality, handsome face, and perfectly built physique…
It was hard not to wonder how someone this perfect could even exist.
Of course…
Fighting zombies wasn’t the only memorable part of those days.
For Adrian, plenty of other “interesting” things happened.
Control yourself.
Control yourself.
Still trying to control himself.
He honestly wondered if they were doing it on purpose.
Almost every single night, Rei Miyamoto, Shizuka Marikawa, Saeko Busujima, and Saya Takagi would casually wander around wearing silky nightgowns.
Adrian was confident of one thing.
If any one of them had simply given him a clear “come here” signal…
He would’ve pounced without hesitation and “taught them a lesson.”
Ever since the apocalypse began…
Especially after he had lost his virginity…
Adrian had come to understand himself.
He lived by his own heart.
If he wanted someone dead…
He’d kill them.
If he wanted to do something…
He’d do it.
If he wanted to chase a beautiful woman…
He’d chase her.
A pervert was a pervert.
Actually, scratch that.
Just “P.”
He wasn’t old enough to be an “old pervert” yet.
That said…
He was still a gentleman.
He had no interest in forcing anyone.
Unfortunately…
Not a single one of them ever gave him a signal.
They didn’t even hint at it.
That left him thoroughly depressed.
The most frustrating part was…
Among all these incredibly well-endowed women…
The only person who had actually given Adrian an unforgettable eyeful…
Was Exusiai.
He’d gone to her room to discuss something.
Instead, he walked in just as she was changing clothes.
😳
From head to toe…
Every inch of her skin had been exposed before his eyes.
What left the deepest impression on him was…
Soft pink.
Snowy white.
Silky smooth.
And…
The legendary Divine White Tiger.
…
On the fifth day after arriving here…
They finally set out for the survivor settlement.
🚗
The drive went smoothly.
Nothing unexpected happened along the way.
Even sitting inside the vehicle didn’t stop Adrian and Exusiai from mowing down zombies.
The accidental incident in her room hadn’t made things awkward between them.
Exusiai was still as carefree as ever, acting as though nothing had happened.
Sitting in the car…
She braced her gun and happily unleashed burst after burst.
According to her,
“Ammo normally costs money.”
“But right now I can shoot for free.”
“So of course I’ve gotta enjoy blasting away!”
Meanwhile, Adrian casually wiped out entire groups with a single Palm Thunder.
The two of them fought so effortlessly that everyone else in the vehicle was left staring in disbelief.🎯
Even Saeko Busujima ended up getting swept along.
She picked up a rifle…
And started copying Exusiai.
Rat-tat-tat-tat!
“…..”
